About Me
Let’s see, what things should I tell you? And by that I mean, what do I think you will think is interesting??? I was held back in kindergarten, but I completed high school in three years. I love peanut butter, cheonggukjang, and chicken. I live in South Korea for 16 years. I'm a certified horseback riding instructor. I got my first writing award in seventh grade but I didn’t get my first sale until after I moved to South Korea. For a time, living in Korea led to life without horses.
As everyone knows, life without horses is sad. I was so lonely I bought a plant, which lead to more plants: Dead, Deader than Dead and Bob (whom I also killed.) And as they say, "Dead plants are prerequisite for a cat." Which lead to a second cat.
Pets are a slippery slope. Before I knew it, I was part of a farm with 6 equines, nine cats, five dogs, a goat, two sugar gliders, two guinea pigs and hamsters. And YouTube channel, that grew to 250,000 subscribers in a year. Getting our silver play button was kind of cool. Having to say goodbye to South Korea, the farm and animals was not. Perhaps the most common questions I get are: What was living in Korea like? What is North Korea really like? Isn't the food spicy?
Living in Korea is oddly similar to living in America. The culture is different, the food is different... everything is different. And yet it is also the same. You go to work, you buy groceries, you pay bills.
North Korea sucks. And if you don't believe it... One example of the suck: generational imprisonment. If you commit a crime and lets be clear, there are so many ways to be guilty of something there, and you are sent to prison, so are up to seven generations of your family. If you have a child born in the prison, perhaps due to rape, they get to live their lives in the prison because of what you did.If you have a son, daughter, mother, etc. they get to go to prison because of what you did. To defect is to imprison your family for generations. And no, I would never go to North Korea.
Depends on what you eat, but yes. Also, at times, spicy can be an understatement.

Favorite Books
I've liked almost every book I've ever read, but these are books that I remember and sometimes snuggle into like an old, familiar blanket. They are in no specific order.
